The village of Schönborn dates back to about 1350, belonging to the dukedom of Saxony. In 1999 it was incorporated into the city of Dresden. The cemetery is owned and managed by the Lutheran congregation of Schönborn. The church in the middle (Elf-Gebote-Kirche) dates back to around the year 1660. With only 1.560 m² in size, or 16791 square feet, this is the smallest cemetery in the district of Dresden.

Please note that the graves in Germany are not perpetual. After a certain period of repose (15-20 years) the graves are being leveled and re-used. There is no toxic embalming being done in Germany, so the coffin and the corpse can decompose naturally. If the family of the deceased decides to purchase another period, the duration can be extended by another 15-20 years. Otherwise, the grave will be leveled and reused, the marker then used as gravel in road construction. War Graves are considered memorials and are kept up by the owner of the cemetery. Those are kept forever. Also, the town or owner of the cemetery might find a grave of historical significance and will protect and keep it indefinitely.
